Application filed May 20. 1907. Serial No. 3742.791.

To all whomv it may concern:

Be it knownl that I, VINCENT C. DE YBAR- nonno., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and Stateof California, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements inElectrical Igniting Devices for Gas-Stoves, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had `therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an improvement in electrical igniting devicesfor gas stoves, and has for its obj-ect the provision of means forfacilitating the igmting of gas escaping Another object of thc inventionis the im provement of the construction of an igniting device,whichcoinprises a minimum number from a burner, or like device.

of parts and which is comparatively simple ani cheap to manufacture.With these andA other objects inview, the

invention consists of certain novel construetions, combinations, andarrangements of parts, Vas will be hereinafter fully described andclaimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a deviceconstructed iii accordance with thc prescrit invention, Ishowing thesame'in application. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the supporting-lracketand the spark plug. Fig. 3 is a view inside elevation of thesupportiiig-bracket, partly shown in section, and a longitudinalsectional view of the Fig. 4 is an end view lof the 'spark plug.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates a gas stove,constituting a support, carrying the valved gaspipe 2, upon the upperend of which is, preferably, se-

cured the burner 3. Preferably positioned within stove 1 and securedthereto by suitable means, as for instance, bolts 4 and nuts .5, is anadjustable supporting-bracket 6. The bracket 6 comprising primary and auiliary horizontal supporting portions 7 and 8, respectively. Theseportions 7 and S are integrally connected by, preferably, a verticalportion 9. The auxiliary, horizontal portion 8 is provided with anelongated aperture 10, and` b .reason of this apertured structure, thelbrac et may bc adjusted upon stove 1, so as to place the spark plug 11contiguous to the burner 3.

The spark plug 11 is vcarried by a rein ovableyertical standard 12. Thisstandard 12 is provided with a screwthreadcd aper- `which'nut 27 anddisk 26',

ture 13, and is removably secured to the primary, horizontal portion 7of bracket 6, preferably, by 'screws 14.. By reason of the removablestructure of standard 12, different size spark plugs may be employed, asit will only be necessary to attach to the primary,` 'horizontalsupporting-portion 7, a standard 12 having an aperture of suitable silzeto accommodate the .particular spark ug. p The s ark-plug 11 comprises asubstantially cy indrical member 15 formed of insulating material.Hereinafter, I will desig nate the member 15 as an insulating meinber.The insulating member 15` is provided nearl its center with, preferably,an annular shoulder 17 A female member 18 is internally screw-threaded,at 1,9, and is roL vided with a tubular portion 20, wlhicl isscrew-threaded' upon its l outer face. The screw-threaded portion 20 isthreaded into aperture 13 of the standard l2.' A male .member 21 isthreaded into female member 1.8,v and the shoulder 22 of member 18 bearsagainst one side of. the shoulder 17 and the inner end of male member2() bears against the opposite side y of said shoulder. By threadingmale member 21 into female member 18, the insulating member 15 will bese# curely' fastened upon the standard 12. A screw -23 extends throughthe insulating member 1-5, and said screw .23 is provided with a head23", which head 23 metallicI disk 24. The opposite end of the screw isthreaded, at'25, and secured u on said end V25, against the insulatingmem er 15, is a disk 26. YAdjustably mounted upon said end 25 is also atliumb-nut 27, between wire 28 is secured to the spark plug. Theoppositeend of the wire 2S is connected to one of the terminals of thevibrating spark-coil 29, and by means of wire 30, the spark-coil is,also connected to pipe or tube 2. `A suitable circuitmlosure or switch31 is electrically connectedto a battery 32, or any other source ofelectrical energy, and the spark-plug 29, whereby, when the circuit isclosed at the switch or circuitclosure 31,'a spark will jump from thespark plug to thel burner 3, thereby'igniting escaping ras. It isto benoted that ,the outer end engages a,l

of t e spark-plug constitutes an electrode,`A

While the burner constitutes another electrode. The pi e 2 and the wire28 are suitably insulated rom the stove.

I havemound, from practical experience,

. medium of the switch or circuit-closure 3L,

and the gas is turned on, said as will be instantaneously ignited. Itwill e noted that, by the adjustable structure of the fastening meansand the standard, the spark-plug can be positioned so as to accommodateany size burner, whereby the positive operation of the device isassured.

What I claim is:

l. In a device of the character described, the combination With a gasstove provided with a burner, of a bracket positioned Within anddepending from a portion of said gas stove, a standard secured to saidbracket, a spark-plug provided with an insulating portlon, engagin saidstandard, said spark-'plug provided Wit .an outer, metallic endpositioned contiguous to said burner, and means for su plying a currentof electricity to the metal 1c end of said spark-plug and to saidburner.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination with asupport, a burner carried b said su ort, of a bracket provided Wit apair o orizontal portions, one of said horizontal portions secured tosaid support, a spark-plug, means supporting sai spark-plug upon theother horizontal pprtion of said bracket, and means for sup- P Fm andburner.

A3. In an' electrical ignting device, the combination with a supportprovided with a burner, of a bracket attachednear one end to saidsupport and havingits opposite end -spaced from said suport, a removablestandard carried by sai ast-mentioned end, a spark plug supportedentirely upon said standard and positioned contiguous to said burner,and means for supplying a current of g an electric current to saidspark-plug electricity to saidA spark-plug and to said burner.

4. In an electrical igniting device, the combination with a gas stoveprovided with a burner, of a spark-plug positioned Within n said stoveand contiguous to said burner, means for adjustably securing said s plugto said stove, and means forsupp an electric current to said spark-pluga burner. y

l5. In a device f the character described, the combination With asupport, a burner carried by said support, of .a standard positionedcontiguous to said burner, means supporting said standard upon said suport, a member threaded into said standar an arkinsulating memberprovided with a shoulder,

extending through said first-mentioned member, means for holding saidshoulder of said insulating member against said first-mentioned member,land means carried by and adapted to conduct an electric vcurrentthrough said insulating member.

6. A device of vthe character described, comprising 'a standard, afemale member threaded into 'said standard, an insulating' memberextending through said female member, a male member positioned upon andthreadedinto said female member and enagng a portion of said insulatingmember or securing the same upon said female member, and a metallicmember provided with Wire attaching means, extending through saidinsulating member.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
